For those in this thread signed up for cryonics, are you signed up with Alcor or the Cryonics Institute? And why did you choose that organization and not the other?
I saw this same query in the last open thread. I suspect you aren’t getting any responses because the answer is long and involved. I don’t have time to give you the answer in full either, so I’ll give you the quick version:
I am in the process of signing up with Alcor, because after ten years of both observing cryonics organizations myself and reading what other people say about them, Alcor has given a series of cues that they are the more professional cryonics organization.
So, the standard advice is: if you are young, healthy with a long life expectancy, and are not wealthy, choose C.I., because they are less expensive. If those criteria do not apply to you, choose Alcor, as they appear to be the more serious, professional organization.
In other words: choose C.I. as the type of death insurance you want to have, but probably won’t use, or choose Alcor as the type of death insurance you probably will use.
If you are young, healthy, and have a long life expectancy, why should you choose CI? In the event that you die young, would it not be better to go with the one that will give you the best chance of revival?
